It would not do her any good to appear upset by someone's random question.

"Be mature Janelle", she thought to herself. She tried to think of what her sister would do in this situation and gave it her best shot. "I am the youngest, yes. I think that my magical skills are quite exceptional for someone my age.....but that's just me. I am sure that I am not anywhere near the skill level of my older classmates, but I am not trying to use anything to my advantage. You can believe what you want. I did not take Bob. By the way, I don't think it took a whole lot of magical skill to turn out the lights and hide a turtle.



They all had very buy-able stories now didn't they. "Well it seems you all know exactly what you were doing, but Zhenya I couldn't help but notice you said you thought you were sleeping. How does one think that they are sleeping. Do you sleep in classes often?" She eyed the seventh year before moving towards the others, "Janelle, you were the last to answer, was that a distraction to get the lights out?" Distracting the professor with a response to get the lights out and nab Bob. Hmm that was very clever. "Cinna you say you were on the floor? So you admit you got out of your seat and took Bob?" Her brow raised, "Adi you seem very confident that you did not leave your seat at all. Were you sitting close enough that you could just summons Bob to you?"

These were all questions she was doing to make everyone think. Were they seeing how easy questioning could be? Seeing a few hands she turned her eyes to the class.



"I'm glad you are supporting your friend, but his sieve did move and there has to be a reason for it. We will get to the bottom of it don't worry." Giving Benny a nod she turned to the next student.



"That could certainly be why the sieves moved, but we will get to the bottom of that during this make shift hearing." She glanced back up at the guilty as she continued to pace back and forth in front of them. "There were many people last lesson who wanted to touch and play with Bob, so there is plenty of evidence that points to someone in this room taking him. Why during class, well that could be a good question for our friends." She looked back to the four, "Why would someone take a turtle during class?"



"I'm glad you think they are all innocent, but I have my reasons to why I don't think that. So we will continue with this for now. So if you have a question for any of them please go ahead and ask."



"We are wasting time, he could be in danger by now. So instead of the class asking me questions they should be asking the four accused to find out which have him." She turned her eyes back to the four, "Out of the four we have three girls, who probably have purses. Would you put Bob in a purse if you did take him?" She glanced at them all, "Adi you have your robe which has big pockets, could you have put him there?"

She looked at the class, "You have a few more minutes for questioning the accused, I would use this time to concentrate on them and try to figure out which of the four is the one that took Bob."

Obviously it was one of them.

Zhenya wasn't very pleased with all the questioning. This was learning? Perhaps she should have just remained in the dorm to study today, it would have been more productive. This didn't do anything to alleviate the stress the seventh year was feeling for the upcoming exams. Why had she thought she was asleep? Zhenya shook her head, frowning. "No. I don't fall asleep during class, I never have. It might be something to do with exam study and long nights, delirium, and calming scents, plus that delicious calming peppermint tea that made me wonder if I had nodded off." She shrugged. How could she explain that brief moment of being unsure if it was reality or dream like? When did the lights ever go off during class? Exactly. Well, at least Zhenya wasn't the only one being questioned by Professor Cassie. Zhenya almost wanted to stand up, point her finger at the Divination Professor and say 'I ACCUSE YOU WITCH!' but she didn't. Perhaps Professor Cassie had taken Bob without thinking, without realising, when it went dark, and hadn't thought about herself being guilty because she had done it for his own protection? How about that theory Professor?

SPOILER!!: Kate

He always seemed like he was out to save the day, except for that time they had a snowball fight, but that was all in good fun. Janelle also seemed really innocent. They'd only talked one time in the common room during Kate's first year, but she'd never think the girl would steal. Cinna also seemed so sweet. She couldn't have stolen a turtle! That Toby kid was like a true hero, too. No way would he even THINK about harming an animal.

So that only left the Slytherin girl. Kate had no idea who she was, but people were calling her Zhenya. So Zhenya it was. "Zhenya, my question is for you, but first of all, I don't really think you stole a turtle. I don't think either of you did," she explained. She felt really bad for questioning somebody...

"I...uhh..." Ahem. "Sorry, Zhenya. Erm, you said you noticed after only a few seconds of the lights being back on that the turtle was missing. What caused you to think about the turtle so quickly and look for him?" she asked. SO SORRY, ZHENYA.


Zhenya had a question from a young Ravenclaw student. It was nice knowing her classmates didn't really think any of them had taken Bob. As Lux said, what purpose would it serve? Zhenya had a quick think about that question. She was stumped. "I d'no. I suppose once I realised I wasn't actually asleep, when the lights came back on, my eyes did a scan of the classroom and that seemed to be the only difference. A missing Bob. It wasn't like a missing book, where I wouldn't have known it was there in the first place... it was a turtle. I had been thinking of turtles moments earlier when I was trying to remember what we had done with them last lesson, and I knew he was in the room earlier." It was the best explanation she could come up with.
